Harold A. Broda '27, captain of the Iron Men and one of Brown's
finest ends, had a flair for the spectacular when he stepped on the
football field. The long, lean Broda was a track man, and he used
his speed to good advantage on the football field. His quickness
was obvious on defense, where he would frequently follow a play to
the other side of the field and catch a runner from behind. He also
used his speed on offense, becoming a favorite target of passing
star Dave Mishel. Also one of the best track men in the East, Broda
ran the 100 and 220. In three consecutive meets in 1925, the native
of Canton, OH, won five of six races in these two events against
Columbia, Amherst, and Williams. Broda played pro football for the
Cleveland Bulldogs.
